What have you learned throughout this class? What was your favorite thing about the
class? What was your least
favorite thing about the class?
How can this class be improved?
I learned how to observe a
group and how people interacted with one another. Since there are more people
in the group I learned that others easily zone people out. Not only that but I learned
how to watch for non –verbal messages from others in a group, which can tell me
if they like what was going on in the discussion or event.
There were many aspects of
the class that I liked. One of my favorite things in this class must be the
flexibility of it. I like how we are able to do our assignments and quizzes
when we have the time to. Even though there was a deadline, I liked how there
was always a set date and time throughout the semester of when we are suppose
to turn our assignments in. There
was not much that I do not like about this class, but one thing that did bug me
was how we had to wait for other people to write their entry in order to
comment. I saw how that was helpful to get the class to interact with one
another. But there were weeks when I wanted to finish early, but I had to wait
for some blogs to be written so I can comment on them. I thought this class was
fine the way it was, I do not see the class needing any improvements.
Hi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteWhat annoyed me too in the class were the late posts. I would finish my three posts maximum by Wednesday but start responding only after Friday. Most of the class would start writing only after Fridays, which was a little bothersome. I enjoyed learning the dynamics of communication in small group because we will need this skill in every phase of our lives. Somehow I also found the quizzes difficult, so I ended up reading a lot from the book. The project was also a great way of understanding the practical implementation of theories from the book. I found the project of group observation pretty interesting, as I could understand what made some group members react in a particular way. Anyways, Good job on your blogs and good luck for your finals!
Hi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteI liked that you were able to pull something from this class and utilize it. I really think that non-verbal messages are essential and I think they actually tell you the truth versus words. I actually prefer online classes in general because of their flexibility. I work a ton and having all my weeks work laid out for me is awesome because I can do it when I have the chance. I also was mad about the late class participation as well even though at times I fell behind. I tried to remain on schedule but at times I was one of those people that you disliked.
